Prof. Hyatt: I wonder, after many messages readed related to this topic, why so much pleitesy of you towards DB? 1. Kasparov has proved to be the best player, BUT definitely not the best in playing against machines, as is recognized by himself (see comments by him about Frankfurt Tournament, about Fritz, Genius, etc.) 2. Kasparov also say (and obvioulsy he knows because he played both): "DB is dumber comparing to micro's programs" or something similar (I think he refers to chess knowledge, not calculus capacity). 3. The merit (part) of DB against humans was no existence of history games to study by part of its oponents (e.g. "black box", in oppsoite to micro programs situation). 4. If the TPR of DB was grossly ~2550-2600, and Rebel with ~2480 then there isn't huge difference, and also Rebel may not be the best representative. I know that DB is better, but not for so much, IMHO.
